That may not work. "usbhid" sounds like it's a USB HID (Human
Interface Device), which means that it's not using a serial protocol at
all. If you're a programmer, take a look at the "uhid" manpage on
FreeBSD, and see if the ioctls listed there map to what the Linux
ushbid code is using. Who knows; it might be an easy port.
